They are not medical advice and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or condition.

Before beginning any exercise program, dietary change, or fitness regimen — including any program, workout, or recommendation provided by Mike Snape Fitness — you should consult with a licensed physician or qualified healthcare provider, particularly if you:

• Have any pre-existing medical condition, injury, or disability;
• Are pregnant or postpartum;

6. Assumption of Risk

You understand and acknowledge that exercise, strength training, running, and physical activity carry inherent risks, including but not limited to: muscle strains, sprains, fractures, joint injuries, heat-related illness, cardiac events, and in rare cases, serious injury or death. You voluntarily assume all such risks in connection with your use of the Site, any content provided through it, and any training, coaching, or programming you receive from Mike Snape Fitness.

You agree that you exercise and follow any program at your own risk, that you are physically and medically capable of doing so, and that Mike Snape Fitness has made no representations or warranties about your fitness for any particular activity.

7. No Professional Relationship Created by the Site

Use of the Site, browsing its content, signing up for the newsletter, or submitting the contact form does not create a coaching, training, medical, legal, or other professional relationship between you and Mike Snape Fitness. A coaching or training relationship is created only when you enter into a separate written agreement (or paid engagement) with Mike Snape Fitness for specific Services.

8. User Submissions

When you submit content to us — including information through the contact form (such as your goals and message), responses to questionnaires, photos, videos, testimonials, or any other content (collectively, "User Submissions") — you represent that you own or have the right to share that content, and you grant Mike Snape Fitness a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, transferable, sublicensable license to use, store, and process that content for the purpose of providing the Services and operating the business.

You will not submit anything that is unlawful, defamatory, infringing, harassing, obscene, or that contains personal information of other people without their consent.

We will not publicly share testimonials, photos, or other identifiable content you submit without your separate permission.

10. Third-Party Links and Services

The Site may contain links to third-party websites, services, and platforms (for example, Instagram, our coaching app provider, or the website of The St. James Performance Club). We do not control and are not responsible for the content, policies, or practices of any third party. Your use of any third-party site or service is at your own risk and subject to that third party's terms and privacy policy.

References to The St. James Performance Club or to lululemon are factual references to Mike Snape's professional affiliations and do not imply that those organizations endorse, sponsor, or are affiliated with Mike Snape Fitness LLC, the Site, or its content.

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SITE AND THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, MIKE SNAPE FITNESS DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, OR THAT THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE.

We make no warranty that any program, workout, advice, or recommendation will achieve any particular result. Individual results vary and depend on many factors outside our control, including effort, consistency, genetics, nutrition, recovery, and overall health.

12. Release and Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you release, waive, and discharge Mike Snape Fitness LLC, Mike Snape personally, and our respective owners, members, employees, contractors, agents, and affiliates (the "Released Parties") from any and all claims, demands, damages, or causes of action arising out of or relating to your use of the Site, the Services, any training program or workout, any content provided through the Site, or any injury, illness, or death that may result from any of the foregoing — whether caused by negligence of the Released Parties or otherwise — to the maximum extent permitted by law.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, in no event will the Released Parties be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or in connection with the Site or the Services, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

The total aggregate liability of the Released Parties for any direct damages arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site (excluding any paid coaching engagement, which is governed by its own agreement) will not exceed one hundred U.S. dollars (US$100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain warranties or liabilities, so some of the above may not apply to you. In those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the smallest extent permitted by law.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Released Parties from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your use of the Site or Services; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your violation of any law or the rights of any third party; or (d) any content you submit through the Site.

14. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Site or Services at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including if we believe you have violated these Terms. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 4, 5, 6, 8, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, and 17) will survive.

15. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the Site are governed by the laws of the State of Maryland, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. You agree that the exclusive venue for any dispute that proceeds in court will be the state or federal courts located in Montgomery County, Maryland, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

16. Dispute Resolution; Informal Resolution First

Before filing any formal claim, you agree to first try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting us at mike@mikesnape.com and giving us at least 30 days to respond and attempt to resolve the matter in good faith.

17. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Material changes will be communicated through the Site. Your continued use of the Site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you should stop using the Site.

18. Miscellaneous

• Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any separate written agreement for paid Services, are the entire agreement between you and Mike Snape Fitness regarding the Site.
• No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of that provision.
• Severability. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full effect.
• Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms freely.
• No agency. Nothing in these Terms creates any partnership, joint venture, employment, or agency relationship.
